Visual Poetry and the online magazine

The first time that I saw Born Magazine I felt that we had reached milestone in the development of new media. To the uninitiated, Born Magazine features Flash and Quicktime movies used to give visual form to poetry. The results are often challenging, entertaining, thoughful, and, I might add, beautiful.

There have been a number of other similar magazines but not none really have the reputation or the quality of Born. Although Born has been around for a while the site is updated quarterly and always fresh.

Another online magazine that covers similar ground is Splotch. It is a beautifully constructed with well design visuals accompanying very interesting writing.
